I think I have either a real shrinking violet of a Lad - or one who's immersed himself too deeply in his role!

wants to fly to London to collect a large sum in the traditional trunk boxes. There have been delays. Then today:

Quote:

SUBJECT: Stop all those dirty words.

Quote:

Why should you talk to me that way,i only asked you a question and such dirty words came out from you.I want to let you know that i am not happy and impressed with your
statement,those words are dirty and i repeat i will not tolerate such from you.
Please if you see that you will not be able to watch your language and give me the respect i give to you,i want you to let me know because i dont think i will be able to tolerate such nonsense from you anymore.
I am an elderly priest and i deserve my own respect.We are only trying to entrust these funds to you care and you have started doing this at the beginning of this transaction.I will not and i repeat tolerate such from you.
Lastly let me know a time frame when you will sure of your travelling,Note that if you cannot mapped out time to take care of this project kindly notify me immediately we can look for a better option because i am no longer comfortable with your actions and your statement.
I would not want this to repeat itself anymore.

I'm gobsmacked. The only word I used that could be called a swearword is "gorram", and that only once!

I have used words more offensive than that and all i got back in reply was a resounding applause.

try 'olu-buruku', he might condone that after all he knows you are not a native speaker.

I've had that s**t from lads before. It always p**ses me off that lying and theft are what they're doing, yet if you say f**k or talk about drugs they act all morally superior on your a**. Stupid b*****ds and their bulls**t values can just s*** my.... wait a minute here. Just a thought;

This might actually work in your favour. When your lad finally snaps and hurls a series of remarks about your mother, you could just remind him of his high-ranking station in life and show him his quote, then pull the old "back atcha" modality and see if you get a grovelling apology. It's a narrow shot, but what do you have to lose?

I also loved Shiver's suggestion of just inventing something to take offense to just to make your lad apologize. I dated a girl who did that all the time, and sure enough, it was aggravating!

Wait a sec. That scathing letter could very well have been meant for someone else entirely. That in itself opens up a whole new host of possibilities, IMVHO.

It could be part of his script? He sends it when the mark is being unhelpful.

In my expierence the lads never read e-mails. My mightiest slaps were given when things like that happen, mainly because in RL getting standard replies with nothing to do with your questions really annoys me.

@ Yastreb: Ask your mugu to define what words you have used that he feels you have used as dirty.

Tell him that there is sometimes language barriers. Proceed to insult him real good. like this:

Sorry Mr. xxxxx in my country it is not bad to call you a F***ker, It only means don't be so stubborn. If I was to call you as dumb ass, it would only mean don't be so naive. So please don't take my words so seriously

My first thought is the message is part of a script. I suspect he is just trying to show that he is a very righteous and pious Reverend. Out of the kindness of your heart, you can use this opportunity to give him a lesson in the proper definition and use of obscene words and terms of endearment much like Rumber0 suggested. Make up some new ones for fun and use them. I am fond of "slugbait" as a term of affection.

Put on your very best paranoia act and tell him you feel that someone is reading your e-mails.

I decided to play it totally straight:

Quote:

You've baffled me. When did I use foul language in any message to you? I challenge you to find any obscenities in any of my messages.

He replied:

Quote:

May the goodness of the Lord be with you,its ok that was just a communication problem from my end.I have been very busy with the seminar and it was a very hectic week.

(He'd mentioned earlier about going to a seminar in Scotland - he claims to be in the UK)

I'll have to ask him if he's able to handle the pressure...

This Lad's messages, and my replies, are seriously out of sync, as he's been sending lots of messages and I've only been replying once or twice a day. My replies are to messages a couple of days old, so he's had ample time to get mixed up again.

Today I replied to this message:

Quote:

May the goodness of the Lord be with you,its ok by me i believe you can take care of everything that was why we entrusted this project to your care.
Kindly inform me as soon as you have concluded with your specialist,i will still continue to pray for you and i know that the good Lord will heal you completely.
Thank you very much and God bless you

Thus:

Quote:

I'm getting worried about your mental state - are you sure you're not bipolar? On the one hand you're chewing me out for imagined bad language, the next you're heaping praise on me! I urge you to seek help for this, whatever your problem.
